| Turnaround Time | 3–4 weeks | 6–8 weeks |
| Price | 2800 AED (all‑inclusive) | Often >3500 AED (plus repeat costs) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a Consultant Medical Genetics, I confirm that this targeted NGS analysis provides definitive molecular diagnosis for mitochondrial complex V deficiency. However, results must be interpreted in the context of the full clinical phenotype and biochemical findings. Pre‑ and post‑test genetic counseling is essential for all patients and families.”
Advisory
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your physician. Genetic test results are intended for diagnostic guidance and should complement clinical management, not replace it.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Acute metabolic crisis (unexplained metabolic acidosis, severe hypoglycemia) – seek emergency care immediately.
- Status epilepticus or rapid neurological deterioration – stabilize before completing genetic testing.
- This is an elective diagnostic test; it is not a replacement for urgent biochemical/metabolic workup.
- In case of stroke‑like episodes or cardiorespiratory instability, proceed directly to the nearest emergency department.
